Good morning everybody. There is this Philippine actress who happens to be also a mother. Dawn Zulueta who is now Mrs. Dawn Zulueta-Lagdameo. She got good words about being a good mom to their children..Being a working mother by herself is a bit tough but with her nothing can compare to the stability and security of her son. Let me share what Mrs. Lagdameo says for all mother.
Here are a few suggestions on how to get your home and kids organized to allow more “Me” time for you. Some of them involve little tasks that you can accomplish easily but do take up so much of your thinking and running time.
GOAL: Get everyone out the door on time and tantrum-free
● If you give your kids lunch money, prepare them on Sunday night and put them in envelopes.
● Use a whiteboard to track what you need to remember, like art materials on Monday and puppet project on Tuesday. Stash it all in a hanging clothes organizer (one compartment for each day) so you can just grab and go.
● Stock a container with food that your kids can eat and go in the morning, like cereals or biscuits. Have a stock of napkins in your car.
GOAL: Organize your laundry
● If you have no room for shelving, use a lazy Susan to organize everything from detergent bags to fabric softeners.
● You can keep smaller items like dryer sheets and scrubs in a clear shoe bag, which you can also use to hold coins from pockets and popped-off buttons.
● Give each family member two mesh bags– one for whites and one for colored clothes. I’ve made canvass bags that I embroidered with the names of my husband and son, so there is no mix-up. A 3-year-old can haul his own laundry to the washing machine. My son already knows how to undress before his bath as well as where to put his soiled clothing without coaching.
